I am trying to prepare an unattended installation of the Python
runtime environment. Therefore I need to 
a) copy the binaries into the appropriate directories
b) set the registry

As PythonCOM22.dll is a COM object I thought to let it register
through regsvr32 (registering it manually by setting all ProgID,
AppID, and so on by hand was too tedious and cumbersome). Please note
that at the time I want to let that dll register, the runtime
environment is not installed yet, so letting the .py file execute
istself to register will be hard I guess
